[A study of 65 cases of urinary tract injury]

Since 1968, we experienced 65 cases of urinary tract injury. These include a rare case of traumatic renal artery thrombosis which was later followed by renovascular hypertension, a rare case of complete ureteral disruption, and 2 cases of renal injury which were first treated conservatively but were nephrectomized later because of rebleeding. These cases are reported and discussion is made about the relationship between the clinical findings and the indication of nephrectomy. We used endoscopic management (Yasuda method) in the cases of complete disruption of posterior urethra accompanied by pelvic fracture and obtained good results.
